Well we are back from vacation. We had a fantastic time in CO with visiting with family and escaping the cold of Alaska for a while. It was really nice to be around family again and not only did we get to see his, but my parents surprised me for New Years and flew in from MD for a long weekend:~) It was a really great break from daily life. But now we're back and the vacation is over. Back to school, projects, and the blog:~)

I have posted some new pictures to my gallery from our trip to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. Feel free to take a look and remember that the photos I post are there are free to be copied for personal use only.

I took this of my sister when my family came to visit over the summer. We took them 4-wheeling on our favorite trail. This was taken about 20 miles down the trail only 40 more to go at this point:~) Zoom, Zoom.....

This week's categories are Black and White, I ate this..., Historic, Off Center, The End.

1. Black and White - I took this while out on a walk with a friend.

2. I ate this...

3. Historic - While I was working on my photos for this scavenger hunt I took a detour trip through my old photos and found this photo. I took this picture of the Vietnam Memorial way, way, back. Back when my hubby of 6 years was still my fiancee. With the cold, crappy roads, and Thanksgiving I haven't really been out to take pictures, so I decided to use this for my "historic" picture.

4. Off - Center - This guy was in my driveway.

5. The End - I took this at the end of our walk. By the time we were on our way back the wind was wipping and it was quite cold. My dog Tucker was very much done. He beat us back to the cars:~)

Since fall pretty much ended about 2 months ago here and AK is now sporting about a foot and a half of snow I pulled this picture from my iPhoto stash.

I snapped this photo of the Gulkana Glacier on our drive back from camping in Valdez back in September. I love, love, love how it turned out. The colors are fantastic and the reflection of the mountains in the lake is awesome.

I'm only a little late posting this:~) I got super side traked yesterday working on projects and starting to get ready for Thanksgiving. By the time I remembered to post, it was well past my bed time. I also managed to forget to take my something hot photo. Oh well. I did atleast get some good ones for the other items.

*Note: If you haven't noticed I have been a huge slacker lately! Between school and winter setting in (we are at 7 hours and 9 minutes of daylight here in FBKS and losing roughly 7 mins a day....ugh) my creative side has been a little quite lately. But I have started working on projects again and will start working on my Christmas projects as well here shortly. Anyways, with that said on to pictures.......

This week's categories are: Boo!, Black, Texture, Wet, and Language.

1. Boo!

2. Black

3. Texture - I couldn't decide so I have two for this one. The first one is a sculpture of a polar bear at the UAF Museum that I loved. The second one is a knitting project I was working on this afternoon. I loved the way the yarn was wound on the skein.

4. Wet - This one is a throwback. I couldn't find anything new that really piqued my interest in regards to this item. So I reached into my photo stash and found this one of my dog Shelby playing in the water. She is part fish:~)

My husband has started taking flying lessons. The fun part is that I get to tag along. So while he is trying to sort out every little detail that one needs to know in order to fly a plane...I get to take pictures:~)

Anyways...he asked me to make him a bag for is headset a little bit ago. I finally got down to making it over the weekend. The outside is a fake leather and the inside is lined in fleece. It was quick simple and fits perfectly.
